A climb where you can keep a nice pace as it never gets really steep. The tarmac is fine, the scenery certainly worthwhile. If you come from the coastal road, you get another climb of more than 10 km before you can start this one. There is not much traffic.... read more

Een klim waar je lekker tempo kunt blijven rijden want echt steil wordt het nooit. Het asfalt is prima, het landschap zeker de moeite waard. Als je vanaf de kustweg komt krijg je eerst nog een andere klim van meer dan 10 km voor je wielen voordat je aan deze kunt beginnen. Veel verkeer is er niet.
